How Much Should I Charge For Poster Design

Alex Ferreira is a Dominican song writer based in Spain in recent years. He called the attention of critics and audiences with two wonderful EPs last year and already signed one of the best works of the year, Any Given Sunday. Alex is back with a brand new EP, Dulus Dominicus, and SextoHombreDigital we had the great pleasure of talking with him about this work, projects, dreams, tastes in music and much more ...

First of all, introduce yourself, "Who is Alex Ferreira? Singer

postmodern melodramatic, solipsistic, stateless and rabidly heretic.

six years ago to live in Spain, why did you choose this country?


I'm a fan of Europe and I like to speak in Castilian. Spain seemed perfect.


During your childhood you lived in Santo Domingo, New York and Miami, "let's get on planes once in your life? Do you see yourself growing old in Spain or is it just another stage in your life?

If I stop at a place I feel sick, I need to travel for my mental well being. Nor do I want to commit to a city or lifestyle. Now I have my house in Madrid, but tomorrow who knows, maybe I'm a lifetime or maybe not. Although it would be nice to age in a Caribbean beach.

"If I stop at a place I feel sick, I need to travel for my mental well-being"

You recently released an EP, Dulus Dominicus, do we need to present these five songs or see distant the publication of a second album?

'm a demo of his next album and these songs do not fit me in it. It seemed a good time to post something, but it has nothing to do with the next album. I do not think it takes more than a year without getting a LP.

"Dulus Dominicus" is the Latin name of the cigua palm, a typical bird of the Dominican Republic among other areas, do you have any special meaning to you?


Rather it is the scientific name. I grew up surrounded by these birds and when I was recording the EP I was constantly either.

When cataloging your style, according to historical charges could mean you're a singer, do you consider yourself as such? Yes

write songs and sing them, I guess I'm a songwriter.

"I write songs and sing them, I guess I'm a songwriter"

Following your path, it seems that every time your music leans more towards pop, have you ever thought to surround yourself with a stable band with the twist and burn?

is very difficult, but I love it. You could say that is a goal I have but now I can not allow for economic reasons.

When playing, how do you feel more comfortable in the intimacy of acoustic or with other musicians?


Both ways have their one. The good thing is that when I am so busy in some way I can go to the other and everything seems new. The songs change a lot depending on the format.

striking is the amount of artists with whom he collaborates regularly in concerts, enjoy "putting your voice on issues" foreign "? Who are the musicians who've been best moments on stage?


I love to say in matters outside and suddenly an alien voice singing a song of mine. With whom I've spent more scenarios could mention Ivan Ferreiro, Xoel Lopez or the entire American Caravan. To month I will sing in concert Havalina, so I is very excited.

Dominicus In Dulus includes a song, They circled Discs, talking about the ritual of listening almost extinct vinyl records. Are you a collector of this format? In drafting SextoHombreDigital we are divided, convince us, is it worth investing in "plastic"?

Yes, I have vinyl, but I have CDs, cassettes and MP3s. Listening to music is a very personal thing, everyone does it his way. The song "They circled Discs" is not a criticism of how listening to music right now or anything, it is rather a longing for a time I remember fondly, but that does not mean that we are now at an exciting time . The other day I took a trip of 8 hours and if not for my iPod that would have been hell.

Let's talk about your musical tastes, to start, who would you say are your biggest references?

Antonio Machin.

Imagine a whimsical fire burns your record collection. If I were in your hands, what three save?


Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis, Pink Moon by Nick Drake, Radiohead's Ok Computer.
But lose too much time looking for them, as I'm cooked before.

What is the song that has marked you in life?

"Happy Birthday."

If you could, what musician or band you'd like to share the stage?

Flaming Lips. Recommend

a group that you've discovered recently and has engaged;

James Blake


One of our favorites, what you listen hard when you're alone and you know that nobody can see you and hide when you visit?


I assure you that all my records are in the open from the crowd and neither me blush.


"I assure you that all my records are in the open from the crowd and no me blush"



To go finishing in SextoHombreDigital have a tradition that each interviewed blindly leave a question for the next guest. In your case, Jaime Anglada was who let this question, "What song would you put the day we hear that the war is over for good? Just one. "


" Hallelujah ", but the version of Jeff Buckley.

Feel like leaving a?


you change everything you know to know half of what you ignore?

What projects do you have in mind for this 2011? Will we have new songs from Alex Ferreira?


I hope so, there we are. But very soon it will be like later this year.


Nothing more, Alex, is a pleasure to answer our questions, a big hug.

The pleasure is mine, thanks!
